[add AC_SYS_LARGEFILE check to configure.ac
jeremy.shaw at linspireinc.com**20080213223619
As explained in this thread:
http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/haskell-cafe/2008-February/039549.html
getSymbolicLinkStatus (and possibly other functions) return completely
bogus results. This is because hsc2hs returns the offsets for stat64,
but the library is built such that it calls the 32 bit lstat call.
I copied the AC_SYS_LARGEFILE from ghc's configure.ac. So, I believe
the library should now properly autodetect whether your system has
large file support and do the right thing more often. I suspect that
this would still be buggy if ghc was built without large file support,
but the library was built with it enabled. However, as long as
AC_SYS_LARGEFILE returns the same results for 'ghc' and 'unix', things
should be ok ?

sysconf(3) returns -1 on failure, but this was not handled when checking _SC_GETGR_R_SIZE_MAX and _SC_GETPW_R_SIZE_MAX in System.Posix.User. This made getUserEntryForID, getUserEntryForName, getGroupEntryForID and getGroupEntryForName fail on OS X 10.4.9 on i386. Just checking that unistd.h defines _SC_GETGR_R_SIZE_MAX and _SC_GETPW_R_SIZE_MAX as was done before does not guarantee that sysconf(3) will succeed.
sysconf(3) failure is now handled by using the same default values as were already used when sysconf(3) is not available, or the parameter names are not defined.

(eg. a Windows installer can be placed anywhere, as can a Unix
binary .tar.gz distribution). The current trick is for the
compiler to splice in the value of $libdir in package.conf at
runtime. So we could extend this mechanism and tell the compiler
the value of $datadir via a command-line option, but that seems
ugly.
On Windows, $datadir==$libdir, so we don't need any changes:
package.conf still uses $libdir, and a Windows installation is
independent of its absolute location. Even 'make install' on
Windows should have this property.
On Unix:
- for 'make install' and in-place execution, we just use
absolute paths in package.conf
- for a binary dist, we generate a package.conf that refers
to $libdir and $datadir, and splice in the values at
install-time (distrib/Makefile-bin.in).
- Also, I renamed $libdir to $topdir to more closely reflect its
actual meaning. This is somewhat malicious in that it will flush
out all those clients using $libdir when they really shouldn't
be :-)

simonmar**20041126162212
Further integration with the new package story. GHC now supports
pretty much everything in the package proposal.
- GHC now works in terms of PackageIds (<pkg>-<version>) rather than
just package names. You can still specify package names without
versions on the command line, as long as the name is unambiguous.
- GHC understands hidden/exposed modules in a package, and will refuse
to import a hidden module. Also, the hidden/eposed status of packages
is taken into account.
- I had to remove the old package syntax from ghc-pkg, backwards
compatibility isn't really practical.
- All the package.conf.in files have been rewritten in the new syntax,
and contain a complete list of modules in the package. I've set all
the versions to 1.0 for now - please check your package(s) and fix the
version number & other info appropriately.
- New options:
-hide-package P sets the expose flag on package P to False
-ignore-package P unregisters P for this compilation
For comparison, -package P sets the expose flag on package P
to True, and also causes P to be linked in eagerly.
-package-name is no longer officially supported. Unofficially, it's
a synonym for -ignore-package, which has more or less the same effect
as -package-name used to.
Note that a package may be hidden and yet still be linked into
the program, by virtue of being a dependency of some other package.
To completely remove a package from the compiler's internal database,
use -ignore-package.
The compiler will complain if any two packages in the
transitive closure of exposed packages contain the same
module.
You *must* use -ignore-package P when compiling modules for
package P, if package P (or an older version of P) is already
registered. The compiler will helpfully complain if you don't.
The fptools build system does this.
- Note: the Cabal library won't work yet. It still thinks GHC uses
the old package config syntax.
Internal changes/cleanups:
- The ModuleName type has gone away. Modules are now just (a
newtype of) FastStrings, and don't contain any package information.
All the package-related knowledge is in DynFlags, which is passed
down to where it is needed.
- DynFlags manipulation has been cleaned up somewhat: there are no
global variables holding DynFlags any more, instead the DynFlags
are passed around properly.
- There are a few less global variables in GHC. Lots more are
scheduled for removal.
- -i is now a dynamic flag, as are all the package-related flags (but
using them in {-# OPTIONS #-} is Officially Not Recommended).
- make -j now appears to work under fptools/libraries/. Probably
wouldn't take much to get it working for a whole build.

Process reorganisation: the System.Process library moves into base,
and System.Cmd is re-implemented in terms of it.
Thanks to Krasimir Angelov, we have a version of System.Process that
doesn't rely on the unix or Win32 libraries. Normally using
unix/Win32 would be the right thing, but since we want to implement
System.Cmd on top of this, and GHC uses System.Cmd, we can't introduce
a bunch of .hsc dependencies into GHC's bootstrap libraries.
So, the new version is larger, but has fewer dependencies. I imagine
it shouldn't be too hard to port to other compilers.

As a temporary measure, use an ultra-evil sledgehammer method to silence the
PACKAGE_FOO clashes. The correct way of doing this would be splitting up
HsPACKAGE.h and ghcconfig.h into two parts each: One part would be generated by
autoheader and would contain the defines which are needed during package build
time only. The other part would contain all kinds of stuff which is needed for
using the given package (no PACKAGE_FOO defines here). For an example of this,
see the OpenAL package. As an additional benefit, this would keep the namespace
much cleaner, because 2nd kind of headers is typically smaller.
No time for the real thing currently, hope the current workaround works...

"Auto" packages.
The big change here is that it is no longer necessary to explicitly
say '-package X' on the command line if X is a package containing
hierarchical Haskell modules. All packages marked "auto" contribute
to the import path, so their modules are always available. At link
time, the compiler knows which packages are actually used by the
program, and it links in only those libraries needed.
There's one exception: one-shot linking. If you link a program using
ghc -o prog A.o B.o ...
then you need to explicitly add -package flags for each package
required (except base & haskell98) because the compiler has no
information about the package dependencies in this case.
Package configs have a new field: auto, which is either True or False.
Non-auto packages must be mentioned on the command-line as usual.
Non-auto packages are still required for:
- non-hierarchical libraries (to avoid polluting the module namespace)
- packages with no Haskell content
- if you want more than one version of a package, or packages
providing overlapping functionality where the user must decide
which one to use.
Doc changes to follow...

Changes to the exception interface, as discussed on the libraries list.
1) Move bracket and bracket_ from GHC.Exception (and hence System.IO)
to haskell98/IO.hs. These two should now never be used (except in
all-H98 programs), and this will save users of the new libraries from
having to hide them. Use the ones in Control.Exception instead.
2) Define
type IOError = IOException -- was Exception
leaving the type of Prelude.ioError as IOError -> IO a,
but adding to Control.Exception
throwIO :: Exception -> IO a
The result is a type distinction between the variants of catch and try:
Prelude.catch :: IO a -> (IOError -> IO a) -> IO a
Control.Exception.catch :: IO a -> (Exception -> IO a) -> IO a
System.IO.Error.try :: IO a -> IO (Either IOError a)
Control.Exception.try :: IO a -> IO (Either Exception a)
These are breaking changes: the first one affects only import lists,
but the second will bite in the following situations:
- using ioError on general Exceptions: use throwIO instead.
- using throw on IOErrors: if in the IO monad, use ioError instead.
Otherwise, use throw (IOException e), but why are you throwing
IO exceptions outside of the IO monad?
Minor changes:
- System.IO.Error now exports catch and try
- moved try from GHC.Exception to System.IO.Error, because it's
portable and can be shared by Hugs.

Partial rewrite of the POSIX library.
The main purpose of this sweep is to remove the last dependencies of
the compiler on hslibs. When I've committed the associated compiler
changes, only the 'base' package will be required to bootstrap the
compiler. Additionally to build GHCi, the 'readline' and 'unix'
packages will be required.
The new POSIX library lives mostly in libraries/unix, with a few bits
required for compiler bootstrapping in libraries/base. The 'base'
package is mostly free of hsc2hs code to make bootstrapping from HC
files easier, but the 'unix' package will use hsc2hs liberally.
The old POSIX library continues to provide more-or-less the same
interface as before, although some of the types are more correct now
(previously lots of POSIX types were just mapped to Int). The new
interface is largely the same as the old, except that some new
functionality from the latest POSIX spec has been added (eg. symbolic
links).
So far, the new POSIX library has signal support, directory/file
operations and lots of stuff from unistd.h. The module names are:
System.Posix
The main dude, exports everything
System.Posix.Types
All the POSIX types, using the same naming scheme as
Foreign.C.Types, Eg. CUid, COff, etc. Many of these types
were previously exported by GHC.Posix.
Additionally exports the "nicer" names used by the old POSIX
library for compatibility (eg. ProcessID == CPid, FileMode ==
CMode, etc.)
All reasonable instances are derived for these types.
System.Posix.Signals
Signal support, contains most of which was in PosixProcPrim before.
The RTS interface to the signal handling support has been
rationalised slightly.
System.Posix.Directory
Directory support, most were in PosixFiles before.
System.Posix.Files
File operations, most were in PosixFiles before.
System.Posix.Unistd
(for want of a better name) Miscellaneous bits that mostly come
from the unistd.h header file. PosixProcEnv before.
The rest of the library should pan out like so:
System.Posix.IO
System.Posix.Error (maybe)
System.Posix.Process
System.Posix.Terminal
(I've no doubt broken Win32 support, but I'm checking the build at the moment).
